Château Latour 1975 Pauillac, 1er Cru ClasséBanded prior to inspection, in original tissues, April 2011 Chateau release, purchased from 'Rarities from the Cellar of Chateau Latour' at Christie's Hong Kong on 27 May 2011In 2017 and from double magnum. Served in big Burgundy ballons which was rather a good idea. Huge fruit from the start, now more cherry than blackcurrant and with great impact. Real First Growth depth, inimitable. History in the glass - a wine of its epoch and an utterly memorable one too. Multi-layered and complex, with very exciting flavours acting as an undercurrent and finishing on a sweet aniseed note.
